Sometimes she can tell them what happened to those children. The people that come to her are often parents in search of their missing children. If customers come in and want to know what happened within a brief window of time, they can pay their money to Mary, and Mary will then return to the place she first saw this person, and she'll… look. She draws the people she's seen, and she places the faces of those people on a wall in the shop. Or rather, she sees flickering images that she can make more real if she concentrates. The book opens with a young woman, Mary, and her minder, Tyrone, in a dilapidated building that exists in the remnants of the After. I am drawn, often, to stories about grief and loss, and this one was no exception. It's not confusing, but its chief concern isn't throughput of story. I'd go as far as to say it's not actually narrative, although it is a novel. This book is therefore not a linear narrative. Instead, Maughan writes around it, in scenes and segments labeled Before and After.
THE central premise of Infinite Detail is an event that doesn't appear on the actual page.
